* Really, the fates of pretty much all the significant villains in ''Blazing Blade'', excepting [[Sinister Minister|Kenneth]], [[Psycho for Hire|Jerme]], and [[Complete Monster|Ephidel]]. Arguments can even be made for [[General Ripper|Darin]] (his death quote makes it fairly obvious that he's realized he's [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|become a liability]] and that he gave up his son, army, and country for all of nothing) and [[Evil Matriarch|Sonia]] (who is unceremoniously booted out of the Black Fang with the information that, no, she's not a perfect being, [[Tomato in The Mirror|she's just a crazy Morph who thought she was]]). |

** Sonia's is ''very'' debatble, as not only was she a [[Complete Monster]] par excellence, but she flaunted her being a "perfect being" at Limstella's expense and mocked her for being a lowly Morph. Limstella killing her while informing her the ''truth'' of her existence is more or less [[Death By Irony|poetic justice]]. |

** Even Kenneth and Jerme may be sympathetic, to some, when you consider the implication that Nergal had driven them both completely insane, as implied by [[spoiler: seeing them as [[And I Must Scream|Morphs in the last chapter]], forced to fight for Nergal and - when you kill them - [[Go Out with a Smile|smiling and closing their eyes, looking peaceful]].

And Sonia was, [[YMMV|for some]], pitiful and broken a little ''too'' far to really ''enjoy'' her death.

* {{spoiler|Lord Elbert's death scene}} in [[Fire Emblem]] 7. What's shocking about {{spoiler|Elbert's death}} is that he had a genuine chance of surviving the events of the story, unlike {{spoiler|most of the fathers in the series, who usually die very early in the storyline}}. This character, in contrast, lasted a good ''third'' of the overall story, showed a more complex personality than many an FE styled [[Sacrificial Lamb]], and even had a [[Dying Moment of Awesome]] by {{spoiler|stabbing Nergal and greviously injuring him}}, even as he lies ''dying''. But the real tragedy comes here: |
